For today's challenge, I want you to use your words. Please make the sentiment the focal point of your card. Whether you choose to use a large sentiment or maybe a die- cut some words/// whatever you decide, the words must be the focal point of your card.

For my card I have used the Sentiment stamp from Verses rubber stamps and die cut it with a spellbinders die and added the distress ink while the die was in place to create the frame. I sponged the edges of the designer paper and added the music dies from Tonic Studio.

Welcome to this weeks Challenge with the CCEE team.
This week hostess Liz has challenged us to make a feminine birthday card in honor of her and Lynn's mother. It just so happens that tomorrow is my birthday so there is a lot of green on my card.

I liked this designer paper from DCWV and wanted to showcase the 12 x 6 piece with all the edging. I manages to fit in the pop up Happy Birthday die and still keep the main flower image.

To save the other half of designer paper for another project I just used plain card stock and dies from Crafter's Companion and My Favorite Things for the front of the card.

Today my card is for a challenge that I do with a couple of friends of mine. Each month we challenge ourselves to use certain products, since it it the month of love that is our theme for this month.

I have cut the heart background die in red card stock and attached it to piece of white card covered with double sided adhesive, with the sticky side up. I then covered the whole piece with micro fine glitter and burnished in the glitter to the tape. Then die cut the panel with a stitched border. I made a bow with ribbon and added the stamped image and the hand cut fishtail banner and die cut heart.

Now is the time to get those last minute Valentines made and mailed. Everyone loves getting a handmade Valentine. Let's make this a color challenge by using red, black, white, and a bonus of glimmer by using silver.

For my card I have used the pivot hearts dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs and the cute birdie tweetheart set from Art Impressions. The set includes the wobble action spring that I have used on the front bird.

I have made the card black, red and white theme with a strip of silver next to the designer paper.
